EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant was discharged in the Spring of 2010 with a Bad Conduct discharge. The applicant was discharged as a result of the decision of a 
Special Court Martial. The applicant pled guilty to all charges.
The applicant is not disputing the punishment or discharge from the USCG, rather the request stems from the totality of service over 14 years 
(with just the CM conviction) should not merit a Bad Conduct discharge.
Further, the applicant bases the request on the service prior to the Court Martial conviction and that the Coast
Guard should presumptively upgrade the discharge based upon the conduct prior to being convicted at the Court Martial. The applicant's prior 
service record (before USCG service) and character of service over a 4 year, 9 month period remains unchanged, however the subsequent service 
with the Coast Guard and assigned Bad Conduct Discharge accurately reflect the applicant's character and conditions surrounding the punitive 
discharge and are fully supported by the applicant's record.
In addition to a $31K debt accrued on the applicant's government travel card, the applicant was counseled repeatedly on the inability to stay 
within weight standards. The applicant was placed in a weight probationary period on three occasions. Additionally, the applicant had one alcohol 
incident in 2002. In the 6 years that the applicant was a rated and trained CG professional, the applicant created a myriad of problems that 
prompted the
UCMJ actions.
The Board unanimously recommends no change to the applicant's discharge and character of service.
Propriety:	Discharge was proper.
Equity:	Discharge was equitable.
Final Adjudication by Assistant Commandant For Human Resources: No relief.
